Over the years, the Quality Claims team has helped thousands of fire, flood and disaster victims and learned that one of the biggest challenges is a homeowner’s lack of any reliable inventory of their possessions. Following a disaster, insurance companies need a complete and up to date inventory of their policy holder’s possessions in order to fully reimburse them for their loss. However, creating a complete and accurate inventory list AFTER a disaster is nearly impossible. “We always tell people to prepare their home inventory list before they need it, before a disaster actually strikes,” says Ronald Reitz, President of Quality Claims and First Vice President of NAPIA, the National Association of Public Insurance Adjusters. “However, most people never get around to it. **End Summary** Topics: Home inventory software]]> insurance claim help]]> public adjuster]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Quality Claims provides hazard insurance claims management and other recovery services to investors, mortgage servicers, homeowners and businesses.

Quality First Real Estate Reveals the Three Big Mistakes Home Buyers are Making Now

Mon, 17 Oct 2011 09:56:37 -0400

Quality First Real Estate Reveals the Three Big Mistakes Home Buyers are Making Now Why You Should Look for a Good Deal on a Home, Not the Perfect Deal San Diego, CA – October 17. 2011 Quality First Real Estate, one of San Diego’s top Real Estate Brokers, today posted an article about the three top mistakes that home buyers make. Even in today’s very tight real estate market, buyers are still making mistakes that can cost them lots of money, time, and even the home they really want. According to Bill de Ridder, President of Quality First, “The single largest mistake that I repeatedly see are buyers who are trying to “get a steal” on a home and end up never buying the right house. Everyone who has turned on a TV, picked up a newspaper or gone to a cocktail party, knows the real estate market has been turned on its ear for going on 5-6 years or more. Home values are at lows not seen in decades. Buyers often spend too much time analyzing and comparing and never close on a house.” Buyers also mess up by holding out for the Perfect Deal. **End Summary** Topics: Quality First Real Estate]]> San Diego Real Estate]]> Realtor]]> ]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> QualityFirst is a full service Real Estate Company specializing in residential real estate as well as in REO properties.

"The October Fire Season is rapidly approaching," warns Ronald Reitz, President of San Diego's Quality Claims Management and FVP of the National Association of Public Insurance Adjusters (www.napia.com). "As there has not been a big wildfire in the San Diego area since 2007, there is a lot of overgrown brush on our hills that is ready to burn.

Now that summer is ending, the back country is very dry and presents a huge fire hazard."

"They have been to Costa Rica, Mexico, China, Argentina, etc., and now they are having lots of problems. We have also seen inferior work by US based dentists who advertise low teaser rates for implants but do not have the required experience or training to perform sophisticated implant procedures," said Dr. Alvarez-Carrera, "Not only can repairing budget procedures end up being more expensive than doing it right the first time, but a lot of times it means severe complications, infection, bone loss, losing more teeth and implants, esthetic catastrophes, and total failures." Many dentists have had no formal training in implantology and have only completed short weekend seminars provided by the makers of dental implant supplies. **End Summary** Topics: dental implants]]> Mexico dentist]]> medical tourism danger]]> ]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> For over 25 years, Mark Shapiro has been writing about technology, health care, home entertainment, travel and other subjects.
